All extra proceeds and future donations to the Coltyn Turner Foundation will provide necessary research for future undiscovered applications of cannabis , as previously mentioned . These financial contributions make it possible for people like Dr . Sue Sisley , President of the Scottsdale Research Institute , to conduct ground-breaking research .
Dr . Sisley is best known for serving as Principal Investigator for the only FDA-approved randomized controlled trial in the world examining the safety / efficacy of smoked marijuana flower in combat veterans with severe post-traumatic stress disorder , PTSD . Dr . Sisley strives to put crucial medically active plants through the entire FDA drug development process to eventually be on the market to treat chronic pain , opioid dependence , and PTSD as a safer alternative to synthetic pharmaceuticals .
Scottsdale Research Institute , in conjunction with its 501 ( c )( 3 ) arm , Field to Healed Foundation , is already hard at work on implementing its next FDA-approved controlled trials , which now include Psilocybin mushrooms . It is partnering with farmers to source natural plants / fungi from their fields and learn how to harness plants / fungi potential as therapeutic tools . Coltyn is proud to raise funds for the important work Dr . Sisley performs and even more honored to have volunteered directly for SRI , helping Dr . Sisley with the first concept grow of legal DEA-regulated psilocybin .
